Hi! My name is Masaki. Nice to meet you! I’m a student of Ritsumeikan University in Japan and studying business administration. Now I live in Osaka prefecture but I used to live in Malaysia for 4 years. My hobby is to play sports, especially volley ball and soccer. My English is horrible so I hope that you would teach me some English. Of course I‘ll teach you Japanese too! これからよろしく、ピーター！
Recently, the Japanese government settled to raise the tax of sales in next year’s April. It would be about 5% to 8%. This change would austerity our life. Then, how is the tax of sales in your country? Is it high, or low? Does the government of U.S deciding to raise some tax?
Hello Masaki. Thank you for your comment - I'd be happy to do a language exchange with you. As for sales taxes, New York City currently has a rate of 8.875%. In smaller cities, the rate is significantly lower. I'm unaware of whether the government will raise taxes.
When I visited Japan, I do not remember paying sales taxes and found this very convenient - normally, does the seller or buyer pay taxes?
In Japan, the taxes ar included in the cost of the product so, you could feel that you're not paying taxes. Also, it is 5% and cheeper than N.Y.C so it would be convenient.
